A Dollar For Anastasia

Her First Art Show

Carla Wilkes
Anastasia had asked to draw some pictures for the store and I allowed her to do it and we set things up for her. It was cute and she was very proud of her art work. They were good for her age and people bought them. We thought a 1.00 for each was okay to ask for. Has some blonde woman sneer at them and commented under her breath about how stupid to sell children's artwork. I just ignore her because she is a browser not a buyer. She wants something for less than nothing and I won't budge on the prices.

I have been coming in this shop for months now and I am looking at the inventory. I was hoping she wasn't selling anything, but I was wrong. I can't get to the pieces I want and she has refused my offers. I am taking photos of her and her daughter. This should be an easy job and I am sure she won't suspect me. I watch as her daughter plays close by.

Divorcing Elena was the best thing I ever did. When I walked in on her perverted sex scene in the basement of our home I nearly threw up. I released the young man and handed him his clothing. I called the movers to get Elena out of my home. The attorneys were thrilled to close her accounts and the joint accounts. They pulled out the prenuptial agreement and filed the divorce papers. Her sex room toys were packed up and the moving van got the address to deliver everything to. It is her old home that is barely a home. It needs work. Glad we had no children. The guy was big but he looked quite young. I wished I had gotten his name and age. I hired a detective and I also hired someone to watch out for the mother and daughter who was a particular interest for her. The detective has told me he can't figure why she would go into the store because it's not a place she normally would go to. He then saw something that would draw her attention. A locked jewelry case with what looks like costume jewelry but isn't.

I have just put away all the valuables in the safe room and Anastasia was helping me by putting them in the hidden cases in the walls. I was taught how to do this by my father, when I hear men and luckily we had everything inside the safes and sealed. They were coming closer and I locked the safe room. They are still there and we hear them talking about the jewelry. They are trying to find the safe. Soon they leave, well I thought they had. I turn the cctv on and watch them and they are talking about going to my home. They start talking Elena being mad and will punish them if they fail to get the jewelry. I think it's time to lock them in the safe deposit box. I grab my phone and my gun and head up the back stairs to the apartment upstairs. No one can get to us unless they know how. We can't go to our house right now. I heard them talking about going there and having fun with us both and walking away with the jewelry and everything else. My alarms are going off at home and the police have the guys in custody. I get a call from the alarm company and they are on their way. I explain that someone was at the store and I have them on video, we hadn't turned the alarms on in the shop yet because we were putting the valuables up.

Anastasia
Mommy is scared and I watch as she gets her gun and loads it. That means there are bad people that intend on hurting us. I saw a few bad people come in the store, I didn't like that blonde woman, she made fun of my drawings. I hug mommy and we hide upstairs. The people did a lot of damage and they made a point of destroying my drawings. Mommy told me that I could always draw more and dried my tears. Mommy told me to hide behind her if she ever gets the gun. So I get behind her as she walks carefully up the stairs looking towards the door holding the gun downward.

Gunther Green
I was arrested as I was hunting for a safe in the house. There was a silent alarm and Donny Pool and Roger Williams were caught as well. We were brought to the police station and put in line ups. The store owner identified us and had videos of us destroying her store.

Donny Pool
We are going down for these crimes, but they are going to question Roger and he's 14 and they will go easy on him us not so much because we just turned 18. A lineup means witnesses and we are not getting off this time.

Roger Williams
My foster parents are not going to be happy with me. It means going back to the group home for me. They assigned an attorney to me because I am underage and a guardian as well. Why they dragged me into this is beyond me. They told me Elena was asking me to prove myself to her because she wanted my loyalty before we moved on to my training. I have been told to keep her name out of it.

Elena
I can't get hold of Gunther, Donny or Roger with my burner phones. I used one for each of them and they have burners as well. I just hope they take the sim out before they get caught. There's no doubt if they get caught the jewelry will not be in the store again. I have to think of a way of getting it from the store manager by using her daughter to force her to turn over the jewelry and not just the displayed items the whole group of items.
